Moscow residents should prepare for continued cool and rainy weather throughout the week, with a return to warmer temperatures not expected until the middle of next week. Forecasters indicate that the unseasonable conditions will persist, offering little respite from the current chill.
The capital will experience daily rainfall and temperatures reminiscent of May. Comfortable summer weather is unlikely before the end of the week.
Specific forecasts detail the expected conditions for the coming days. Wednesday will see temperatures of +15 degrees Celsius at night and up to +18 degrees during the day, with rain and possible thunderstorms. Thursday will bring slightly colder weather, with nighttime temperatures around +14 degrees and daytime highs not exceeding +15 degrees, accompanied by cloudy skies and continued rain. Friday will see a further drop in temperature, with nighttime lows of +12 degrees and a daytime maximum of +15 degrees, with the ongoing bad weather.
Saturday and Sunday will offer similar conditions, with nighttime temperatures ranging from +12 to +15 degrees Celsius and daytime highs reaching +15 degrees. Saturday will be cloudy with clearings and a chance of light rain, while Sunday will see nighttime temperatures drop to +9 degrees, warming up to +15 degrees during the day.
The prolonged rainy weather has reduced the risk of forest fires in the Moscow region. The precipitation has also fostered the growth of mushrooms, with mushroom enthusiasts already finding porcini mushrooms in the region’s forests.
